The New Year

No, this is not a cliche list of resolutions....I have those in a mental list and in my journal, hehe. Whoa, two thousand ten is nearly over.As I get older, time seems to fly faster.

listening to Florence and the Machine on pandora and editing photos from the wedding. wedding?! Yes! I shot my first wedding. My friends Naomi and David got married on Christmas Eve (how fun!

if time is to be wasted, this is indeed the way

30 FactsI love taking shortcuts while driving, even if it only puts me one car ahead, I feel so accomplished and triumphant. I am a huge nerd. I know random facts about Star Wars and Superheros that I don't even know how or why I know. Deep down inside, I'm a veritable bevy of useful nerdy trivia. I love the name Emma, it's what I always wanted to be named. I hate sites like Piknik, because usually the results are neon colored monstrosities from teenage girls using Comic Sans saying “BFFFFFFFFF <3<#<3”....

Spectacular Plan

Of all the phobias in the world, my biggest fear is fear of failure. (and arachnophobia...)  failure in college failure in relationships failure to live up to expectations I'm not the type of person to get depressed at the drop of a hat. In fact, I don't think I've ever *really* been depressed. But, I certainly have my moments of being down about things.  --College-- I've started college for my associates degree in graphic design. I'm at a local technical college, still living at home. Not exactly where I thought I would...
